Albion TCT100H Guitar Amplifier Head

Get classic British sound built in the Albion factory with the Albion TCT100H head. The Albion TCT100H amplifier has 2 separate switchable channels, both featuring the same controls per channel. Channel A features the EQ circuit before the gain stages, while Channel B features the EQ after the gain stages. Both channels feature the capability of running (depending on control settings) from "clean" through "crunch" to "high gain lead". But due to the different "voicing" provided by the EQ position (and other voicing elements), both channels have an entirely different spectral response and player's "feel".

The TCT range of valve amps sound as good as they look. Albion uses Birch Ply for all their cabinet work utilizing interlocking panels and resonance controlling reinforcing struts. Proprietary vinyl covering and custom cabinet hardware is used throughout the range. The final touch is a piano-finish stained walnut baffle-plate giving a lustrous dark plum coloured contrast to all the TCT range. The amplifiers feature a seam-welded steel chassis to securely hold the heavy duty transformers, well supported FR4 printed circuit boards (many being double-sided PTH types) and chassis mounted valve bases. Albion designs and builds their own transformers and loudspeakers. All PCBs, wire, plastic and die-cast parts, and speaker cones are custom designed and built in house.

The TCT amps are all twin channel switching amplifiers, with the TCT50 and TCT100 also having foot-switchable MIX circuitry that combines both channels to give a third sonic option. Although each channel has differing voicing structures (Channel A has the EQ pre-gain, Channel B is post-gain) they both go from "clean to scream" for ultimate functionality and wide tonal response. Switchable tonal options on each preamp also extend the possibilities on the TCT50 and TCT100. All the TCT amps also feature wide ranging power amp controls widening the tonal response even more - switchable feedback loops, Edge (presence) and Depth controls, output Phase and 33% power switching. Natural sounding digital Reverb and a series FX loop round off the amp functions.

The supplied footswitches also have a very useful feature - the cable connection can be easily user-changed from left to right to more adequately suit your stage rig preference. It's simple but so effective!

"Several Marshall's in one Head"

Sound:
It is one of the best sounding amps I have ever played or gigged with. Played a couple of gigs through a 2x12 Carvin Cab. With my American delux strat and my Frankitele with humbucker pups, I was able to get the tones I needed without being able to dial in the amp. It arrived on thur. and I gigged fri/sat. When I finally did have time to work with it.............OMG! Awsome clean crunch and A Joe Bonnamassa type tone. Its all available. Regardless of pups you have uber-options..........I play blues rock and all my amps are fender.. bassman, twin, super... So Im stoked with this Marshall hybrid..........Beautiful build and quality components....... The sounds on the NAMM clips are only a fraction of what is available .
Feature:
Components are all top quality..........Especially like the footswitch. Love the seperate drive/ gain and vol for each channel.
Ease of Use:
Well.....there will be a learning curve for me....... cause each my my guitars will take time for me to dial them in.........experiment with it. There are many options to tweek.
Quality:
Seems well built.............its heavy and not sure how the handle will hold up. Would like to have a dust cover for it and will be ordering one soon. My fingers are crossed about the durability/ reliability.........
Value:
I feel real lucky as I got this refurb. for $650 !!!
Manufacturer Support:
n/a
Overall:
Would replace it ............but I would get the 50 watt head .
